Sound and Silence Meditation

"Tuning the mind, body, and soul"-Gaynor

The sound and silence meditation group meets every Sunday. The meditation begins with 30 min. of toning*, 30 minutes of silent meditation, In the last 10 min. there is time for a brief discussion, questions, or sharing.

According to Gaynor (1999, p. 134-135), "Sounds enters the healing equation from several different directions: It may alter cellular functions through energetic effects; it may entrain biological systems to function more homeostatically; it may becalm the mind and therefore the body; or it may have emotional effects, which influence neurotransmitters and neuropeptides, which in turn help regulate the immune system-the healer within. Music is organized sound that has potent emotional effects and stimulates memories, associations, and highly developed psychological states with clear impact on our healing systems."

Toning* in your own voice is a very powerful tool for self-healing, relaxation, personal growth, opening creativity, and helping to balance life experiences.Toning is the elongation of a note or tone using breath and voice to assist you to get still enough to meditate.
